Is your December calendar packed with Christmas planning and preparations, but not much time for play with your kids?

Do your kids love counting down to Christmas all month long?

In this article, I’ll show you how—with minimal supplies and investment—you and your kids can create a holiday countdown calendar that will bring the family together, get everyone active and build excitement for the big day.

Why Create a Christmas Fitness Countdown Calendar?

A Christmas fitness countdown calendar will help you get up, get active and have some quick family fun every day this holiday season.

We’re always looking for ways to boost kid’s excitement for the holidays without adding too much stress to ours. The problem is most holiday activities are costly, time-consuming or don’t encourage family interaction. How many Christmas movie marathons do we really need?

The Christmas fitness countdown calendar is a fun, healthy, holiday-themed project that will get the whole family involved and excited for the holidays.

It’s an Advent calendar with a lot less chocolate and a lot more family activities.

It’s also a great way to combat seasonal stress and keep cooped-up kids from going stir crazy during their holiday break.
